[Code Geass] Irregular 269

Chapter 269 – 268. The Road to the End

“What are you going to do now?”
“Just give me a ride to the submarine. Or lend me a nightmare.”

At my words, Suzaku put on an awkward expression as if he had decided that it was not his decision. It was natural. Suzaku was only Lelouch’s helper, but Ikaruga’s complete power was determined by Lelouch and Kaguya. Leaving behind Cecil, who was looking at me with complicated eyes, I said to Suzaku with a shrug.

“When will Lelouch come?
“For now, there are no extra Nightmares.”

As Suzaku and I were interrupted, Cecil spoke to me. I was dumbfounded by Cecile’s words.

“Couldn’t you lend me one and pick it up later? Or we’ll bring it to you…”
“Still…”

Cecil put on a difficult expression at my words. Honestly frustrating If you can’t even lend a nightmare, the people here have no authority at all. What. Even if I were here, I would have done the same. In fact, taking responsibility is difficult.

“Hoo~? This is it. Isn’t that Woojin?”
“The most annoying guy is here.”
“Put.”

When I heard Lloyd’s voice change into a poopy expression, Cecile, who had been watching my expression, smiled. By the way, now that the peace agreement will be completed, why are they still here?

“Sister Cecil. Aren’t you going back to Britannia?”
“Mmm… That’s it.”

At my question, Cecil took Lloyd’s notice. Lloyd approached me with a smile on his face. I was sure to ask Cecile, but Ji came and answered.

“Because it’s more convenient to study here. First. Even if the peace agreement is concluded, battles, large and small, will not cease all over the world. In order for the Black Knights to continue to exist, they have an obligation to act as the world’s police. That’s it. If the justification disappears, it means that it is destined to disappear immediately.”
“So?”

When I asked, Lloyd put on a strange expression, like someone who had heard a stupid question. Why don’t you get so pissed off when other people make that face? It’s really strange.

“Are you an idiot? Of course, shouldn’t the Knights of Black intervene in conflicts around the world? The Knights of Black are the group that can obtain the most data.”

Because His Highness Schneizel is here too. Lloyd shrugged his shoulders and added his last words. Does the correspondent under Schneizel’s direct opinion think so?

“You have great loyalty.”
“Loyalty? Does this look like loyalty?”

Lloyd smiled, curling the corners of her eyes like crescent moons. He looked at me and asked, but I hated Lloyd’s expression so much. It’s because I feel like a conspirator. As I walked away from Lloyd with an expression of disgust on my face, Cecile smiled self-deprecatingly and put on her four legs.

“The correspondent decided to stay here. That way, we can do various researches.”
“Then… I can’t help it.”
“What do you mean you can’t help it?”
“I wanted my sister to come to Sword Breaker?”
“…A joke too.”

When I said it as if tossing it, Cecile put on a complicated expression again. It’s one of my regrets. Cecil probably still has lingering feelings for me. After getting out of Alcatraz prison the first time, it was right to bring Cecil along with Naomi. It was because I couldn’t believe Cecil yet at that time, and since I had only mixed flesh with me once and hadn’t spent that much time with her, it seemed like I was going to get caught again if I was hastily trying to bring her back.

“Talk to you later.”
“Okay.”

Cecil nodded at my invitation. Even so, he did not hide his complex expression. When Cecil first mixed her body with me, she said she would definitely be my woman. Since that was the story he was talking about when he was hectic during sex, I thought he just picked up anything in the mood. Cecile didn’t seem to be like that. Still, I was in a difficult situation, so I wanted to know Cecil’s true feelings at this point.

She said that if Cecil said she would follow me, she would join the Sword Breakers. If not, she would have no choice but to pray for Cecil’s happiness.

“By the way, when will Lelouch come?”
“Since you’ve made a fuss, it’ll probably take a little longer. They’ll know you’re still on Pendragon.”
“Then, can I just stay here as if I’m dead and wait for Lelouch to come?”
“Right. How about trying to communicate with Rakshata?”
“That’s nice. But where do we rest?”

I asked. Lloyd, who answered my questions wholeheartedly, led me to my room. In the past, it was a cabin used as a hideout for Sword Breakers in Ikaruga. Unlike before, since all of the Sword Breaker’s equipment was gone, it seemed that it was being used as a crew’s quarters again.

“It’s been a while here.”
“Hasn’t it been a while since you left here?”
“Still. After spending quite a bit on the submarine, it feels more like home.”

I looked at Cecil while replying to Lloyd. Cecile was startled.

“How is your sister? Does this feel like home now?”
“I am…”

Cecile was speechless. Lloyd, noticing the subtle air currents between me and Cecil, sighed. Lloyd pushed me on the back and put me into the cabin. Without bothering to resist Lloyd’s insistence, I entered the cabin and sat down on the nearest bed. It’s been so hard so far. Even though I still had my eyes with ruptured blood vessels and my right arm that had peeled off the skin, I believed in my physical abilities. In addition, my vitality is at an enormous level due to the characteristic suck. Blood had already stopped flowing from his right arm, where the shell had been peeled off. It was likely to be fixed in a few weeks. Eyes There was no major problem with vision, so I wasn’t worried. It will be completely healed within a week.

“Then I’ll let you rest here for now.”
“You know that.”

Lloyd nodded at my words and went out of the cabin with Cecil standing behind him. I lay flat on the bed. After communicating with Rakshata, it seemed good to rest until Lelouch arrived.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“Don’t trust him too much.”
“Yes?”
“Woojin. You like it?”

Lloyd shrugged her shoulders as he watched Cecil quietly follow her. Still, the steps did not stop. Cecil turned dark at Lloyd’s words.
Lloyd continued.

“If you think about what he’s done so far, he’s a man with a lot of secrets. A man with a lot of secrets is dangerous?”
“Is that so…?”

Cecil repeated Lloyd’s words in a lack of confidence. Certainly, even after constantly thinking about what Woojin had done and why he had acted that way, he could not find an answer.

If you observe a person in the first place, no matter what that person does, there is a reason for that action. Ugin’s hostility to Britannia was understandable. Because you framed Yuffie. But I don’t know why Cornelia was sent to Gears. I don’t know how I got to know Gears. He once said that it was the result of his own investigation, but no one believed him. This is because it was not on a scale that one person could investigate and dig up. It didn’t make sense for an individual to do something that would be difficult to understand even at the national level.

“Remember. Whatever choice you make, if it’s your will, I have no intention of arguing. In the end, you are responsible. It could be.”

Lloyd asked. Lloyd was right. It’s something he has to choose for himself. Cecile was pensive. Why is he obsessed with Woo-jin? Because the love affair back then was so good? Was she a woman with no backbone herself enough to entrust her life to a man just for that? Because she dedicated the first time? If not…Because she swore to be Woojin’s woman?

Cecil thought that she should slowly think about what she thought of Woo-jin. Regarding the existence of Woo-jin, who disturbed her thoughts at all times, she had never properly thought about how she was specifically thinking.

She subconsciously avoided having a serious conversation with Woo-jin after escaping from prison. She also had insecurities about not being herself, but she probably wasn’t her biggest thing.

Why then did she take Naomi alone?

Cecil wanted to ask this the most, but she didn’t want to hear the answer the most. Cecil weakly laughed. At that time, Cecil was waiting for Woojin. If she was Woojin’s physicality, even if she wasn’t physically, it was clear that Woojin would come out someday. She may have only been playing with fire for one night, but Cecil was in a situation where, at that time, she gave all of her heart to Woojin.

Until Naomi runs off alone.

‘Miss Naomi…’

What should I do? Cecile was lost in her thoughts as she stared into the void. She felt Cecil. Cecil knew that since the world was now in order, it would be difficult for great hatred to collide with each other like before, and that true peace would not come, but human history would not have been peaceful for long anyway.

If so, what should he do from now on?
